Now that Facebook’s Timeline for Pages has been launched, business owners can start converting to the new format. Page owners have a month to work on their new Timelines – all Pages will automatically convert on March 30th. I’ve put together a list of some of the best resources I’ve seen so far for the Timeline changes. As I find more helpful resources or links, I’ll post them here on the blog.
Here are two great posts that explain the new Timeline features and how to set up your Page:
Hubspot: The Complete Guide to Setting Up the New Facebook Page Design
Mashable: Facebook Brand Timelines: 6 Big Changes Every Marketer Needs to Understand
This is a handy reference for creating images (a printable pdf – you may need to update it with any new sizes from the post):

Facebook has several great resources – I highly recommend the video tutorial:
Introducing New Facebook Pages
Learn Facebook Pages (video tutorial)
Here are a few examples of Cover Photos for business pages: (make note of Facebook’s policy for cover photos: no special offers/discounts, calls-to-action, links or mention of “Like” or “Share”)
